Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of processes for metallizing parts, and in particular non-metallic supports. Different ways of performing metallization of a non-metallic support are known.
- Electrolytic metallization processes in which a layer of chromium is deposited are also known.
- One advantage of this type of process is the production of metallized parts having a metallic appearance. These parts are used in particular in the automotive field.
- chromium and in particular hexavalent chromium, used in the context of metallization, has the disadvantage of being a toxic product for the environment.
- Hexavalent chromium requires closed circuit wastewater treatment facilities to reduce its impact on the environment. It therefore represents a significant cost in the production of metallized parts.
- Trivalent chromium is also a toxic chemical. Trivalent chromium poses the same problems as hexavalent chromium.
- the document US 8,105,473 relates to a galvanic metal coating with an adjustable satin sheen in which a layer of Ni matte is deposited on a shiny surface and is coated with a layer of Ni sulfamate.
- An object of the invention is to propose a process remedying the aforementioned drawbacks.
- At least one layer of varnish is produced above the reinforcing layer.
- At least one nickel layer is produced on the reinforcing layer and said at least one varnish layer is produced on the nickel layer.
- the metal appearance is given by the presence of at least one layer of nickel which is placed on the reinforcement layer.
- the metallized part obtained by implementing the process is devoid of chromium.
- the varnish layer is deposited on the nickel layer in order to protect the nickel layer as well as the lower layers from the risk of corrosion and shocks from the environment in which the part is used.
- the layer of varnish may comprise several layers of varnish obtained by successive deposits of varnish layers.
- the layer of varnish covers the layer of nickel in order to improve the resistance of the part to shocks and to corrosion.
- the part obtained by implementing the method therefore has a metallic appearance while being robust.
- the deposited varnish is dried by a device emitting ultraviolet rays which will allow the crosslinking of the varnish.
- the drying step is therefore a crosslinking step.
- the step of drying by means of ultraviolet light is preferably carried out over a range of 150 nm to 400 nm.
- the drying step is carried out at a temperature below 60°C.
- the ultraviolet drying step has an operating temperature lower than a temperature of a more conventional thermal drying whose temperature is above 120°C.
- the non-metallic support is subjected to a lower temperature range in which the risk of degradation of said non-metallic support is reduced.
- the layer of varnish is transparent or colored.
- the transparent varnish layer reveals the natural color of the nickel layer located under the varnish layer.
- the layer of varnish may have a colored tint in order to obtain a colored metallic part.
- the part adapts to the aesthetic environment in which said part is integrated.
- the varnish layer is an electrolytic varnish layer. It is understood that the layer of varnish is deposited chemically.
- the parts are arranged so as to be immersed in an electrolytic bath through which the varnish layer is deposited on the nickel layer.
- the layer of varnish comprises a succession of layers of varnish. It is understood that the layer of varnish thus obtained has a transparency or a hue which vary according to the number and the thickness of the successive layers of varnish.
- the non-metallic support consists of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
- the non-metallic carrier is a copolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. It has the advantage of having high physical and chemical properties such as rigidity, impact resistance, heat resistance.
- the non-metallic support is made of polyamide or polypropylene.
- non-metallic support is made of polyamide homopolymer.
- polyamides have good mechanical strength.
- the non-metallic support may consist of a copolymer comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene combined with a polycarbonate.
- This polymer blend has better low temperature impact resistance than acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or polycarbonate alone.
- the non-metallic support comprises a polymer of the polypropylene type.
- the non-metallic support has good fatigue resistance and has the advantage of being recyclable.
- the adhesion layer is obtained by successively carrying out a chemical attack on the surface of the non-metallic support, an activation of said chemically attacked surface, and a deposition of a first layer of nickel or copper on the activated surface.
- the surface first undergoes a chemical attack, for example by means of an acid in the case of a non-metallic support comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or of a base in the case of a support comprising a polyamide. A certain roughness of said surface is thus obtained.
- the activation step is carried out by depositing a catalyst compatible with the material of said surface. In this way, a bonding layer is deposited on the activated surface in order to improve the adhesion of the reinforcing layer.
- the reinforcing layer includes at least one layer of copper.
- the nickel layer comprises a layer of microporous or microcracked nickel.
- microporous or microcracked structure is to obtain a part that is more resistant to corrosion.
- the nickel layer can be subdivided into three successive layers of a semi-bright nickel, a bright nickel and a microporous nickel.
- the metallized part obtained by implementing the process is advantageously devoid of chromium.
- the invention also relates to a metallized part that can be obtained by implementing the metallization process according to the invention.
- the metallized part according to the invention is devoid of chromium. Furthermore, it successively comprises a non-metallic support having a surface, a first layer consisting of copper or nickel placed on the surface, a copper layer placed on the first layer, at least a second nickel layer placed on the copper, and a layer of varnish placed on the second layer of nickel.
- the second layer of nickel gives the metallic appearance while the layer of varnish placed on the second layer of nickel makes it possible to protect the metallized part from corrosion and from the various attacks of the environment in which the metal part is placed. .
- a method for modifying a metallized part in which a metallized part is provided comprising a non-metallic support successively presenting a bonding layer, a reinforcing layer, a of nickel, and a layer of chromium.
- the chromium layer is removed, then a layer of varnish is deposited on the nickel layer.
- the elimination of the chromium layer is carried out by immersing the metallized part in an electrolytic bath for a predetermined time.
- the nickel layer comprises a layer of microporous or microcracked nickel.
- the tie layer is a layer of nickel.
- the reinforcement layer is a layer of copper.
- One benefit of this modification process not covered by the invention is to dechrome stocks of existing parts in order to improve their environmental impact while retaining their metallic appearance.
- FIG. 1 there is shown schematically a metallized part 10 devoid of chromium in accordance with the invention.
- This part comprises a non-metallic support S on which the layers C1 to C4 will be deposited.
- the non-metallic support S has a surface 11.
- the non-metallic support S is a plastic part.
- the support consists of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) which has good mechanical and corrosion resistance.
- ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
- a copolymer comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and a polycarbonate is used.
- the metal support can be made of polyamide.
- the non-metallic support S comprises polypropylene.
- a first step S100 is the step during which the plastic support S receives a chemical treatment on its surface 11 so as to obtain a roughness of said surface 11.
- the chemical attack of the surface 11 of a part, comprising an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer is carried out by immersing the parts in a bath comprising sulfuric acid which oxidizes the butadiene present on the surface of the support S.
- the bath is thermostated at a temperature of 65°C which fluctuates by plus or minus 5°C.
- the surface has a roughness.
- a step S102 of activating the etched surface 11 of said support S is carried out so as to deposit thereon a catalyst based on tin and palladium.
- the part comprises a polymer of the polyamide type
- the part is immersed in a bath comprising a solvent base and thermostated at a temperature of 40° C. plus or minus 5° C.
- a roughness of the surface 11 is obtained.
- the step S102 of activating the surface of said support S is carried out by depositing a palladium catalyst on the surface 11 of the support S which has been previously activated.
- a step S104 of depositing a tie layer is then performed.
- a first layer C1 is deposited on the surface 11 of the non-metallic support S.
- the first layer C1 is an adhesion layer which comprises a layer of nickel or a layer of copper.
- the tie layer C1 is produced by immersing the non-metallic support S , the surface of which is activated, in a nickel bath.
- the tie layer C1 preferably has a thickness of between 0.15 micrometer and 0.25 micrometer.
- Said nickel is catalyzed by palladium and tin in the example where the non-metallic support comprises acrylonitrile.
- the nickel is catalyzed by the palladium.
- a step S106 of depositing a reinforcement layer C2 is carried out to reinforce the bond layer C1 in order to obtain a homogeneous metal layer.
- said reinforcement layer C2 consists of copper.
- This step of deposition S106 of the reinforcement layer makes it possible to deposit said layer C2 by immersing the non-metallic support S in a copper bath.
- the reinforcement layer C2 is placed on the grip layer C1 .
- the reinforcement layer C2 has a thickness of between 0.45 micrometer and 0.55 micrometer.
- said reinforcement layer C2 consists of nickel. In the same way, the reinforcement layer C2 is deposited on the adhesion layer C1 .
- a step S108 of depositing a layer of nickel C3 deposited on the reinforcing layer C2 is then carried out.
- the nickel layer C3 has a thickness comprised between 10 micrometers and 20 micrometers.
- a step S110 of depositing a layer of varnish C4 is then carried out on the layer of nickel C3.
- the layer of varnish C4 is preferably deposited by immersing the metallized part in a bath containing said varnish.
- a drying step S112 comprising a step of crosslinking the layer of varnish C4 is carried out by means of an ultraviolet radiation device which comprises a set of ultraviolet lamps which will expose the metallized part, comprising the layer of varnish C4 , to ultraviolet radiation for a predetermined period so that the varnish layer is completely dry.
- an ultraviolet radiation device which comprises a set of ultraviolet lamps which will expose the metallized part, comprising the layer of varnish C4 , to ultraviolet radiation for a predetermined period so that the varnish layer is completely dry.
- a metallized part devoid of chromium comprising the non-metallic support S made of polyamide or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, the adhesion layer C1 comprising nickel, the reinforcing layer C2 comprising copper, the nickel layer C3 comprising three forms of nickel, and the layer of varnish C4.
- the method not covered by the invention begins with a chrome part 100 comprising a non-metallic support S, an adhesion layer C1 deposited on the surface of the non-metallic support S, a reinforcing layer C2 deposited on the adhesion layer C1 , the layer of nickel C3 deposited on the reinforcing layer C2 and a layer of chromium C4′.
- the chrome part comprising the chromium layer C4′ is immersed in a bath in which the chromium layer will be removed, so as to obtain a part 102 comprising the non-metallic support S, the adhesion layer C1 , the reinforcement layer C2 and the nickel layer C3.
- This step therefore has the effect of removing the chromium layer.
- a layer of varnish C4 is deposited on the nickel layer C3 which becomes the upper layer of the part from which the chromium layer C4′ has been removed.
- the layer of varnish C4 deposited on the layer of nickel undergoes the drying step S112 in order to fix the layer of varnish C4 on said layer of nickel C3.
- a metallized part 104 devoid of chromium is thus obtained.
